The Anglo-Saxons

[John:] "We'd like to dedicate this song to our friends,

the former

Inhabitants of the british isles!"

They used to paint their bodies blue

A couple of them might be distantly related to you.

According to ceasar they shaved their entire bodies,

Except for the upper lip and the head

Yeah, the anglo-saxons

Yeah, the anglo-saxons

A sub-literate bunch of guys,

Though some sources say otherwise.

Yeah, the anglo-saxons

Yeah, they were men on a mission,

Preserving their poetry by oral tradition

Yeah, oral tradition is all you get

Until saint augustine brought in the alphabet.

Yeah, the anglo-saxons

Yeah, the anglo-saxons,

In 1065 they were ragin'

But 1066 brought the norman invasion.

Yeah, the anglo-saxons

Go!
